In this episode of Alec Mapa: Hot Mess with Matthew Dempsey Psychotherapist, Alec and Mathew explore the topic of the healing power of creativity with performer, artist, dancer, and Instagram sensation Mark Kanemura. Alec and Matt explore how they express their creativity and why it is helpful to our sense of well-being. Mark Kanemura opens up about his deeply painful past and the three talk candidly about their inner wounded child, their journey as misfits, and coming back from the brink. Mark shares what inspired him to create his hugely popular socially-distanced dance parties on Instagram and how he uses art as therapy to heal himself, find joy and connect to others.
